IN SORROW.

Sadly you ask, "Is it all in vain
That We struggle and rise and fall again !;
That wedo our best when our lot is hard,
And our work is held in light regard,
When those who might help US and less
en- our load
Are walking at ease on a smoother road,
And, thoHgh the earth is so broad and
fair,
1t hath no bounty for US to share?"
Often. know. will the question rise,
As the tears come fast into wearied eyes,
us there none to care or to soothe my
pain?
Do live and suffer and strive in vain p
And the answer cometh, mo; for the
end
To which these long sad journeys tend
Is haven Of calm, is home of rest,
That shall fully repay the weary quest.
IAN We have hoped for there shall be-
known;
There is the harvest of good seed sown,
Peace for the anxious whose plans were
crost,
Love for the lonely on earth long lost,
JOY that will never take flight again,
Shall gladden. US after Life's sharp pain"
Lord, may we struggle and hope and as
scend
With courage and faith to attain this
end. S. j., In Sat. Eve.Post.

The Logan and Blair Pension Bills.

The house committee on invalid PEN
sions, by vote of seven Democrats to
five Republicans, has rejected the bills
granting pensions of $4,000 each to the
widows of General Logan and General
Frank P Blair. But it is not improba
BILE that the house will adopt the mino~
rity report, and grant the pensions.
The objection raised against these bills
in the committee was that their adOpt+
ion would establish precedent in the
cases of about 100 widows of deceased
officers who are now excluded by the
general pension law. Well, if there are
100 widows whose claims to pensions
are as good as that of Mrs. Logan, the
precedent cannot be established any too
soon. This republic is not so ungrsteful
to her brave defenders as to neglect the
widows of 100 or 1000 brave officers, on
any such grounds as that set up by the
majority of the committee. The Demo-
cratic idea of patriotism seems to be
measured by few dollars and cents.
The sentiment of the country is that
the bills referred to should be passed.
The precedent. thus established, we are
glad to see, is one the Republicans in the
house are not afraid.

PnImitn- a Cnhan Dish.

With no intention Of making my letters a
circulating cookery book, 1 have another
Cuban dish to tell you about, one which few
foreigners have tasted, and which even many
Cubans-those living in citieS-have passed
quite lifetime without tasting. When it is
known that in order to get the ''palmito' one
of the handsomest and tallest trees of Cuba
has to be cut down, and thus entirely de
stroyed, Just to furnish dish of palmito for
tive or three meals only, it should-with that
very human appreciation Of the rare and
difficult of acquiition-hold a high place in
the culinary art
The palmito is the heart Of that green,
fresh looking part of the trunk of the palm
enveloped by the "yagua," which is near the
top of the tree, just below its spreading leaves.
The tree down, this green portion of the
trunk is cut open, and an ivory white, trans
parent looking substance, the tenderest part
about eighteen inches in circumference and
as many inches long, is taken out. This
the palmito-is eaten as salad, both cooked
and raw, is made into soup. is cooked in an
omelette, and is used in many other dishes.
Raw, as salad, it has a delicious taste and
is very palatable. Cooked, as a salad, 1t has
no taste at all, and yet is delicious. Strange
contradiction Without taste, it gives to the
mouth fresh, delightfully."- cool sensation

THE reform" movement of the Gle, e.
land administration In the Internal Rev.
enne Department is rapidly progressing
From present appearances it looks as if
the work would be done thoroughly
removing all Republicans to make room
for Democrats. Deputy Rogers was re
moved to make room for E. B. Hender
SOD, who was chairman of the Indiana
Democratic State Central Committee
When this change was made civil SER
vice principles went to smash in this de-
partment. A number of old officers
have been asked to resign simply to
make room for Democrats; and some
have even been given letters stating
that their faithfulness and integrity
were above reproach. The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue was frank
enough to say that no charges could be
brought against them. Now let the
President dispense with his hypocriticsl
cant.

THE Republican members of the Mich
igan Legislature are practically unani>
nous In favor of submitting a prohibi>
tion amendment to the people. and q
number of Democrats will support the
measure. To the surprise of those who
have given the Prohibitionists credit for
good faith, the latter are opposing the
proposition tooth and toe nail. They do
do not want the amendment submitted
now. They want it deferred until the
third partyites get into power in the
State. In regard to that, the Detroit
Tribune gives them fair notice that they
stand "about as good a chance of ever
controlling the legislation of the State
as a setting hen does of Matching out a
yoke of oxen" That is about the size
of it.

LORD SALISBURY has informed the
authorities of British Columbia that the
Chinese residents of that province must
enjoy the same liberty as the people of
other nationalities, accompanying the
intimation with threat that if the no.
tiee is disregarded. the English govern
ment will not grant a mail subsidy to
the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is
said that the Premier's imitation was
prompted by desire to prevent compli>
cations with China, which might prove
very unfortunate in case of a war be-

A Cure fer CONSUMPTION.

A novel method of treating patients
suffering from phthisis Is described in
the current number of "The Medical
Record" 1t was devised by q French
physician. DR.. Borgeon, of Lyons, who
has been applying it for two years to
cases of chronic pulmonary and throat
disease. The results are said to be re-
markable. In acute general phthisis
there has been an arrest of the progress
of the disease and a cure in a few
months. In advanced consumption
marked improvement of symptoms is
rapidly secured, night sweRts ceasing
and the cough becoming less harsssing.
Two hundred cases have been treated
with singular success by DR.. Bergeon in
Lyons, where the climate is unfavorable
for censumptives. His method has been
introduced in the hospitals there and in
Paris, and the medical authorities are
favorsbly Impressed with it.
The treatment consists of daily iDjec>
tiOHs by enema of medicated gases. Car
bonic acid gas when introduced into the
system by this method is found to be
harmless and painless. Sulphuretted
hydrogen is mingled with it, the entire
structure of the lungs is permeated by
the medicated gas and remarkable cnra-
tive effects are observed. The carbonic
acid gas is practically enert when taken
up by the veins of the intestines, but the
sulphurus gas reaches every particle Of
diseased tissue In the lungs and throat,
and is eliminated from the system in
the process of expiration. The volume
of gas used is very large. At the outset
a single litre is introduced, but the guam
tity is rapidly increased to ten or twelve
litres for each injection.
The results of this new system of
treating consumption are so well vouch
ed for that we commend the subject to
the critical examination of medical Cir
cles in this country. Consumption is
tbe.chief scourge of the Atlantic sea-
board. Any departure in the therspeu-
tics so radical as this French method de-
serves to be thoroughly Investigated aud
tested in American hospit-
ais. DIR. Bergeon is not a sciOlist, but a
physician of large practice and
good standing. If bis method be as ef-
fective and successful as he asserts. it
merits general attention from the pro-
fession In the United States.-N. Y.

CRAMMINe, or studying up just before

CRAMMING, or studying up just before
an examination. has always been one Of
the evils of the public schools. Thus
the pupil who has faithfully done his
work from day to day is placed at dis
advantage with the lazy youth with a
good memory who neglects his books
until the last day of the term and then
Grams to make good showing. DR..
White, Superintendent of schools, pro
poses to do away with all this by abol
ishing examinations. or at least making
them merely secondary. Pupils will
hereafter be graded by their standing in
the daily recitations and good behavior
so that the result of the years work
will not be judged by what the student
has been able to temporarily cram into
his brain and which will stay only until
the ordeal of examination Is over, but
by the record of his proficiency day by
day. 1t tappears to US that this method
is much better than the old plan. Often
times boys and girls are so nervous over
examinations that they are not able to
do themselves justice, while of course
they are open to the objection that no
teacher can so frame set of questions
that they will accurately gauge ones
knowledge on subject. Educators all
over the country will anxiously observe
this Cincinnati experiment which. If the
teachers and principals enter fully into
DR.. Whites ideas, can hardly fail to be
successful.

THE DEPoPuLIzATIoN OF FRANCE.

France Doomed to Disappear from the
Ranks of First Rate Nations.
have cast rapid glance through about
score of dailies coming from different parts
OF France. Most Of them are dated Friday
and Saturday, and there IS not one that does
not contain the mention of at least two vio-
lent deaths. Multiply the papers have been
able to consult by 100, which is a very low
computation, and one arrives at minimum
OF at least $50 deaths by violence per day. In
short, one may take it for granted that there
are 5000 such calamities per annum in
France. had occasion to remark in my last
letter on the almost stationary state of the
population This, added to other phe-
nomena, leads to but one conclusion: that, in
the course Of century, France is doomed
TO disappear from the ranks of first rate
nations
OF course, nothing is easier than to prophesy
where the means of verifcation must neces-
sarily be wanting. But statistics are very
eloquent things, and are, to a great extent,
the credentials Of the would-be prophet NJ
Bertillon, who has just published his annual
report to the Paris municipal council, states
that there have been close upon II, 900 arrests
Tor vagrancy and mendicity in the capital
alone, besides q, 900 for more serious crimes.
More than half the culprits, male or female,
are under 25 years of age. On referring to
M. Bertillon's report for the year 1884, 1 find
that there IS an increase Of over 1000 male
factors, without a corresponding increase in
the population 1 am content to let these fig
ures speak for themselves, but 1 cannot for
bear quoting a conversation I overheard a
few months ago, still in connection with this
want of increase of the population
A gentleman that might have sat for the
original of Zolas grandfather in SPot-Bouilles
maintained that France is better off with her
81 600 of inhabitants than other countries
half the size with the same number He was
evidently under the impression that the law
of primogeniture prevails everywhere and is
applied indiscriminately. AAnd do you see,s
he said, under such circumstances there is
one rich in family and the rest are all Door.
1t is better in France, where every child gets
an equal portion of his parents property. It
enables him, if not to do without work, at
least to look the future in the face without
anxiety. For my part 1 should not like to
see too great an increase Of our population"
In vain did his interlocutor point out to him
that such an increase would necessarily mean
the success of Frances scheme for eoloniza-
tion. He was not to be convinced, argument
had to be given up in despair.-Paris Cor.

poor Richards Almanac" written
and published by Benjamin Franklin
about century ago, contained the fol-
lowing pithy sayings, which have more
wisdom in any one sentence than all the
writings of Henry George:
God helps them that help themselves.
Sloth makes all things difficult, but in
dustry all things easy.
What signifies wishing and hoping for
bettes times? We may make these times
better, if we bestir ourselves. Industry
need not wish.
There are no gains without pains;
then help. handsl for have no lands.
What though you have found no
treasure, nor has any rich relation left
you legacy. Diligence is the mother
of good luck, as poor Richard says, and
God gives all things to industry.
Methinks / hear some one of you say
"Must man afford himself no leisure? ?"
L tell thee, my friend, what poor Rich
ard says. Employ thy time well, il thou
meanest to gain leisure; and since thou
art not sure of a minute, throw not
away an hourl
Think of saving as well as of getting.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
Many little makes mickle.
Beware of little expenses; small
leak will sink great ship.
Get what you can, and what you get
hold;
'Tis the stone that will turn all your
lead into gold.
